While Anjali and Munawar were best friends in the show, a certain spark was noticed between the two and they were often linked up with each other with the hashtag #MunJali. The duo got a #MunJali mug from the makers and Anjali was quite possessive of it as well. In a sudden turn of events, when another contestant Payal Rohatgi intentionally broke the #MunJali mug, Anjali went hysteric, ruined Rohatgi’s bed and destroyed her medicines. While Munawar Faruqui won the first season of Lock Upp, Payal Rohatgi was the runner-up.
